Thanks!

Thanks for that comment! It really showed me that my decision was right. :D --Sakura Avalon 01:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation page creation

Yes, thanks VERY MUCH for your efforts. I think I get it now. I don't know if introductory info to Wiki-editing could be clearer or that the problem is I'm the kinda guy that starts fooling with stuff before reading the instruction manual. What I could not get was THE VERY BASIC step of how to create something from scratch, but I guess the way it is done is the counter-intuitive step to search for an article that doesn't exist and start with the blank page Wikipedia page presents you with, (which looks like an error), type it up, (and/or copy over from existing), save it and then rename everything. I'm a little nervous about doing it but when I'm rested and ambitious I'll try and get this done. Thanks again and take care. Best, truthdowser 04:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Yep, should I feel the need to use it again someday, I'll be sure to take it out of the cupboard and get to work again. :) -- Banes 07:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Happy things

Hi Natalya, I'm so sorry that I haven't got back to you sooner, especially after that smiling crater cheered me up so much ;)

As you may have notied, even though I'm offically back, my editing has been kind of sparse, but there are a few things that I really wanted to say before I have to get back to real life work:

Thanks so much for all your support. It was a difficult time, but you helped a lot. You certainly have, in your words, returned the favour. Also, I think that Esperanza's in a really good place right now, and we're getting a lot of work done, work that Esperanza is perfect for. The talk page and the governence talk pages are also working out very well. I wonder if this has anything to do with a certain admin gen....? ;)

I hope to talk to you again soon. Take care. Thε Halo ^Θ 23:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!

		Esperanza Barnstar
		In recognition of your continuing efforts to promote Wikilove and the principles of Esperanza, I, Ed, hereby award the Esperanza Barnstar to you, Natalya, for making my day while I was stressed. I am very confident in whatever you do. Edtalk c E 19:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Your advice really helped! Now that I think about it, my day at high school wasn't that bad today. --Ed^{talk c E} 19:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Suspected Missing User

I think Hildanknight might have left us! He didn't reply to a message I left him, and his contribs show his last edit 2 days ago. In addition, his last edit summary doesn't look too good.....--Ed^{talk c E} 20:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, if you look at Talk:RuneScape#Vandals, that is definitely something Hildaknight would respond too with a reply.--Ed^{talk c E} 20:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

re: wikibreak

Hi Natalya, thank you for your kind words regarding my wikibreak. I'm sorry to say that I'll still be on break due to health reasons, but at least I'm not as stressed out as earlier. Again, thanks. --Tachikoma 23:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, but "unstressed" is an overstatement. Generally speaking, I think I do an OK job handling concerns about my health...sorta used to it. On the other hand, stresses stemming from work, relationships and such...not so much. --Tachikoma 23:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Adding interwiki links

Greetings. You added [[vi:Tiêu bản:Cc-sa]] to Template:Cc-sa, but there's a problem. When you add interwiki links like that to a template, the link gets copied onto every page that includes that template. So an article without a Vietname version will still show a link to a Vietnamese version, if that article includes the template. I fixed it by putting the link inside the <noinclude></noinclude> tags, but I'm letting you know for future reference. All the best, – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Take a look!

How does this look? User:Aeon1006/Sandbox The page is basicly done all it needs is the updated content. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 01:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Son of a Peach requesting unblock

Hi Natalya,

Son of a Peach is requesting an unblock on his talk page. I took a look at his recent edits and while some might be questionable, they don't seem to be disruptive at this time. I note that he's been blocked before, but his recent activities seem much less disruptive. His edit summaries could use some cleaning up and he was warned for closing an MfD on his own user page, but do these recent activities warrant an immediate a week long block? I don't think so, but I wonder if you could shed some light on this. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 15:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

It's up to you. I was thinking that a week is too long, but I think you're right about one thing: this shows him clearly that his behaviour is unacceptable. If I unblock him now, he'll still think his behaviour is fine. --Deathphoenix ʕ 03:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. If he keeps up his behaviour, then an extended block is, of course, quite warranted. :-) --Deathphoenix ʕ 00:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

New members

Natalya, I've finally been able to write a script to generate a list of new Esperanza members. A test output can be seen here. The bot could be set to automatically run every 3 or 4 days, with welcomers watchlisting the list so that any new members can be welcomed. One problem is that if someone goes unwelcomed until the next update, they will not appear on the list again and may miss the chance to get welcomed. We might need to work around that. Cheers, Tangotango 05:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

That's right, it's a list of members added since the last time the bot ran. (Set to 26 July for the test) If it seems okay, I'll post a request at WP:BRFA and we'll be good to go :) - Tangotango 16:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Son of a Peach

I would just like to motion here my feelings over the blocking of User:Son of a Peach. Rather than shortening his/her block, I feel it should be extended, maybe indefinitely. The user is purposely interruptive, uncivil, and generally not an asset to Wikipedia. Aside from this user's frivolous additions to the Shit article, their userpage has constantly had to be reverted by other users, and he/she has a tendency to crudely belittle others on their own talk pages. Please take a moment to look over what contributions this user has offered to the community. Also, just to clarify, I for one am against the unblocking of this User, and I find his excuse ("My last edits appear to be my cleanup of the article Shit (not vandalism).") repulsive. Somnabot 18:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

He's been indeffed by yours truly since then for his edits to Jimbo's talk page, and random text and random scatogical edit summaries, etc. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 00:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments and questions

Hello, Natalya!! I would just like to tell you that you are doing a great job as the Admin Gen of Esperanza. You are always so perky. Between you and Pheadriel, you two are some of the nicest Wikipedians I know. I also want to ask you how soon we can get the Esperanza test page on Æon's Sandbox to the actual Esperanza page. I love it the way it is, and I think that the current one desperately needs replacing. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.--Chili14 03:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well that really lasted. ;)I should be back more or less normally now, the homework I have left is involving typing so I may finally try and get Charizard up to FA. (I'm not rushing things, but I'll try :) I've been at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, all week, which is tiring when it's running at the other side of the country. I'm away tomorrow with a group, and the bus is leaving ridiculously early. -_- The bus is leaving in 7 hours.

Strive

Hi Natalya! Yes, the Strive campagin is going well, and I've met some really positive feedback, it is good to let others know that their contributions are not going unnoticed. Due to your regards about it being an Esperanza program, I would like it to be, but I would hate to have acess to it restriced to only Esperanzians - or people to even think this. I do want to get as much awareness as possible without being a nusance or annoying people. I will take it to the talk page, and thanks for you suggestion.

I returned to Ireland last week. Something bad happened to my sister in the USA. (Accident). I have to move to Montana. Anonymous__Anonymous 18:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Please forgive me...

Hi Natalya, I had learned about what had happened to MJ's sister through your talk page. I hope that you don't consider that a violation of your privacy. MJ is one of about 40 or 50 users on my watchlist, in order to revert any vandalism, and when I saw her edit summary on my watchlist, I decided that trying to find out what was wrong and giving her a kind word was too important to ignore. I know that talk pages on Wikipedia can be seen by everyone, but I don't make it a habit to pry into what other users are saying. I hope you understand, and if you feel offended, I hope that you will forgive me. --Tachikoma 00:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not going to go into details, but in the past, I've been stalked, and so I value my privacy, and accordingly I try to value other people's privacy as well, so if my reaction seemed excessive, at least you see why. --Tachikoma 02:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Nertz NNA standard rules are bogus...

Hi Natalya. I did some edits back on Nertz quite some time ago, and just recently checked in on the article and saw someone from the NNA saying they have the only official rules. Thought you might be ineterested to know NNA turns up no google hits, and Hoyle and Pagat list the rules and terminology as well much different than the NNA. Given that information, the position that NNA have the "official rules" of Nertz is hard to maintain at best, and grossly absurd at worst.

Question about History

Hey Natalya: I know how busy you are, though I was wondering if you know anything about Natalya Gorveneskav( I’m sure I have the last name spelled wrong) She was a resilient human that stood out, and moved me earlier in my life. I remember she was either Russian or German and no one could stop her from standing up. Joan Biaz wrote about her too. Do you know about her and what ever happened to her life, or is she living.Kisida 06:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: User:Son of a Peach

I wrote to you before concerning the recent behaviour of User:Son of a Peach. I would like to inform you that this user seems to be reverting to his/her old tricks from before the ban you imposed. Please look into his/her contributions to MediaWiki talk:Edittools, Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations, and the reversion of User:Quarl's changes to his/her userpage. Not to mention, he/she seems to feel they are worthy of an adminship. Also I have a proposed page deletion located here that needs admin attention. That is, if you have a moment. Thanks in advance.

Esperanza questions

Hi, Natalya!! I want to ask you some questions about Esperanza. I'm sure there is a place devoted to answering these questions, I just don't know exactly where those places are. OK, here they are:

• 1. What do I have to do to get elected into one of the Esperanza tranches and when are those elections next being held?
• 2. What do I do if I have an idea that I think would be really good for Esperanza to put into pracice?

Thank you for all you do for Esperanza and for Wikipedia in general.--Chili14 00:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I have a weird feeling that September's (that's this month) Esperanza's anniversary and we didn't celebrate it. Can you verify this for me?--Ed^{talk c E} 01:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza was started on August 12th, 2005. But your post made me think of our calendar. We have birthdays, first edit days, and adminship promotion days... Now we could also add the date we joined Esperanza. For me, it was September 21st :). NoSeptember 01:27, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Page move

Could you please move Cherrim back to Cherimu? Cherimu is one of the new fourth generation Pokémon, and since no English name has been revealed, there is many variations of romanizations from Japanese to English. Up until now, the whole community was sure on the romanization "Cherimu", until about a week ago, when a few semi major sites started using the romanization, Cherrim.

Since the majority of the community is still decided on Cherimu, and since Nintendo has not revealed any official romanization, I think we should use the main romanization. I asked the editor who moved the article, Mitsumasa (talk · contribs), why they moved it, and they said a few sites had started using this version, which in turn I asked for a source as to why.

So far I haven't been given a link as to why they just changed the romanization, so I was hoping you could move it back Cherimu. Hope you're well, Highway ^Daytrippers 17:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Nintendo has only ever used "チェリム". Cherimu is the widely accepted unofficial translation. Now, the editors have put "Cherrim (チェリム, Cherimu)", which means Cherrim is the official translation. When it isn't. So generally, the editors have changed to their personal interpretation of チェリム, and (possibly accidentally) fobbed it off as official.

Ummm, I don't know if I'm interpreting the Charter correctly, but I thought that once the council is elected, a new Admin Gen is chosen and voted on by the Council. Please understand if I misread the Charter. Now I think we're going to have to elect a judiciary to help interpret the charter. Modeled after the Supreme Court of the United States. (Wow! Esperanza's suddenly becoming too political. =)--Ed^{talk c E} 21:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

For that matter, maybe I should propose an "Esperanza Court". With almost the same roles as the Supreme Court, they could also make the decisions on uncivilized Esperanzians. Thankfully, there aren't any around Esperanza (yet.....)--Ed^{talk c E} 22:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
